Empowerment, empathy, compassion, and trust are the pillars upon which I build a safe healing space for clients to overcome obstacles. Along with a secure therapeutic relationship, I use interventions proven effective such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). 

​

I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. When working with couples, I channel these skills towards building a platform to increase relationship intimacy through healthy communication, conflict resolution, building love maps, and making life dreams come true.

​

For several years I have worked with individuals, couples, groups, and families from diverse backgrounds, propelling all towards their full potential. Ethically, I use only evidence based practices supported by groundbreaking research, which provide clients with interventions demonstrated to work best for their unique struggles.

​

I look forward to providing an engaging, educational, and life altering experience in all sessions, increasing mental strength, and providing a smoother ride ahead in life.

We are going through an ever evolving time in our lives that requires sensitivity to ourselves, others, and the world we live in. These times can also bring up feelings of struggle, isolation/loneliness, uncertainty, and even despair. However, this does not have to be your end point. I will assist in guiding you to be empowered and reach a sense of healing through my empathetic, insightful, and supportive therapeutic approach. My goal is to facilitate your growth in your personal journey with non-judgement and unconditional support. I will walk with you and help you to develop into the best you, you can be.

​

I work with each client individually to meet their presented needs. My experience varies from working with LGBTQ+, severe and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, relationship issues, and trauma. My approach varies based on your concerns and we will work together to develop a personalized plan to reach your identified goals.

Far too often we are weighed down by heavy emotions, intrusive thoughts and conditioned patterns. Through my varied experience I have been able to witness firsthand--that even in the most dire circumstances positive change is possible. My philosophy is to provide you with patience, positivity and pragmatism while varying the therapeutic approach to fit your current needs. To foster motivation and facilitate insight, I utilize a combination of strength-based techniques. I also believe in the significance of incorporating your interests and creativity (e.g. art, music, theatre and humor) into sessions. I am passionate about empowering people to improve their quality of life and would be delighted to assist you along your journey. 

I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), have taken Nurturing Parent training and have worked as a parent coach. My clinical experience includes: eating disorders, family preservation, general mental health and substance abuse. Within that capacity I have assisted individuals (children & adults), couples, families and groups in the areas of: anger, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress management and trauma. I also have years of supplemental work experience in both the mental health and special needs sectors.
